Heeheehee!  I went to the dollhouse store and the craft store and returned victorious!  I'm going to seriously begin my endeavor to build my Stephen Geeklab (as mentioned before in this post).  I bought lots of tiny random tools!  And I'll be able to jury-rig them into early 19th century surgical instruments, with the help of websites like this, Alex Peck Medical Antiques (how I loooove that site).  And with many more viewings of Master and Commander to look at Stephen's tools (like these:)



I don't even know what some of those are, but I'm sure I'll find out.

So here are the things I bought!  And remember, this is just straight out of the package, with no adapting and stuff yet.



(With and without flash.)  I've got various bottles and jars (the little ones with lids are actually hollow!  I can put powders and stuff in them!)  Various knives (yay!)  A borer thing that can be turned into a trephine, a mystery tool (nutcracker?) two pairs of scissors (with "I heart 2 scrap" on one, because you know how Stephen loves scrapbooking - just kidding.  I've already cut that part off) two saws which can become bone saws, a funnel because it was just cute, wooden bucket (for all that blood), a random dish/tray/pan, a telescope, a lamp (actually a blubber oil lamp, I think) another mystery tool, and another bucket.



Eeee!  I'm so excited.  Now if anyone has advice or tips or good screencaps or info, tell me!  And I still need to figure out what exactly I'm making.  Am I making the orlop?

And feel free to offer inspiration in the form of other miniature things, even if they're not exactly related - like this mini Victorian physics laboratory, or Cristina Noriega's AMAZING miniature historic medical scenes.  She's a Spanish nurse who used to make ship's models, I think.  Guh.  Her things are to DIE for!  Pleeeease look at them so you can swoon with me.

I'll be looking forward to your sickberth and orlop. I have a couple of photos of the surgical instruments at HMS Victory.

Would you like me to send them (probably later in the morning because now I am off to bed)

Should I now feel insulted because of your evil laugh? The quality of the photos is as best as I could make them.

It was more a gloating evil laugh of I SHALL NOW CONQUER THE WORLD WITH MY ASSORTED PICTURES OF MEDICAL INSTRUMENTS AND THE MINIATURE VERSIONS THAT I SHALL PLAN, BWAHAHAHAHA! Now I'm unstoppable.

Watch out, dolls! I'll be whipping off your legs in no time!

No, no! Nothing more comforting than knowing that someone can whip of an arm or a leg fast! Go practise on wood first, will you?

Hey, I'm from doll_houses! :D Good luck with your project -- it's a fantastic idea. More unusual historical scenes should be done in miniature. I love all the little tools you've bought so far. And oooo... *goes off to explore christinaoriega.com* :)

Sadly not! Well, aside from the usual boat in a bottle. :P (I'd like to find a miniature boat in a bottle! yeah!) I'm just a fan of the show. :)

You've made boats in bottles?

No, I only own a few. It would be a pretty amazing task, though... if only I had the patience!

I have no idea even how they make them! I know it involves making everything unfold open once it's actually inside the bottle, but beyond that, it's a mystery.

Somewhere online I saw ships inside lightbulbs. :D

Looks like you're going to have a lot of fun with these. This link may help you with more specialised stuff.
